Hi all,
I've been having the annoying problem for quite a few days.
kget is able to resume interrupted file transfers effortlessly.
However wget, curl, axel, lftp when trying to resume, send the appropriate Range Header in HTTP/1.1 but fail to get a reply back. They wait for a long long time, still nothing.
What is it that causes this, and is their a solution, so that I can use wget/curl for the downloads.
They work very very well. Are you behind a proxy? In which case you will have to specify the proxy like this http_proxy=http://xxyyzz export $http_proxy
wget -c http://yoururl/file will get your fle and resume on disconnect. You can stop and reissue the same command and wget will resume where it stopped.
